“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”… but why?
Do you really know what makes an apple so special? Why is it that we never hear an orange or a banana a day keeps the doctor away?
Apples have properties that no other fruits have and its benefits have been proven overtime.
You will be able to get the benefits of these properties individually with other fruits, but an apple combines everything and makes it simpler. It has been shown over and over that if it’s not simple, easy and fast, people won’t take care of their health.
1-Apples contains Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps greatly your immune system. A lot of people who lack Vitamin C in their diet have poor healing, bruise easily and have bleeding gums.
2-Prevent Heart Diseases. The reason it can prevent both coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease is because apples are rich in flavonoid. Flavonoids are also known for their antioxidant effects.
3-Low in calories. A regular size apple has between 70-100 calories. Eating an apple when craving for candy or chocolate can make the desire disappear since apple in itself contains sugar, but gives you only ¼ of the calories.
4-Prevent Cancers. Notice the plural. We all know that cancer comes in several forms and in different places. Apples target multiple cancers such as colon cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer in women.
5-Apples contain phenols, which have a double effect on cholesterol. It reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol. They prevent LDL cholesterol from turning into oxidized LDL, a very dangerous form of bad cholesterol which can be deadly.
6-Prevent tooth decay. Tooth decay is an infection that seriously damages the structure of your teeth, which is caused primarily because of bacteria. The juice of the apples has properties that can kill up to 80% of bacteria. So there you have it, an apple a day also keeps the dentist away!
7-Protects your brain from brain disease. This is something many people don’t know, and when you consider that your brain makes the person you are, it gives a whole new perspective. Apple has substances called phytonutrients, and these phytonutrients prevents neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinsonism.
8-Healthier Lungs. A research at the University of Nottingham Research shows that people who eat 5 apples or more per week has lower respiratory problems, including asthma.
9-They taste great! And not only that, they also come in many flavors and colors. Not in a mood for a green apple? Why not get a red one, or a macintosh! Their taste can vary greatly, but still give you all the apple benefits. Variety is an important element to maintaining your health.
On average, Americans consume around 20 pounds of apples a year, which comes to around 1 apple a week. Unfortunately, while an apple a week is better than nothing, it is nowhere close to being able to extract all the advantages apples have to offer. Eating apples is part of balanced and healthy diet than will increase your longevity, so why limit yourself to only 1 per week?
Apples help with acid reflux, as I have been off my acid reflux meds for 3 weeks now!

its for the first time that i knew that apple have the goodness of various fruit put to geather,thou i knew from childhood the proverb an apple a day keeps doctors away thanks for the article,of late i understand that farmers are using pesticides on the fruit but this is harmful for the humans but there is also natural pesticides that farmers usewhich is not harmful hence i request the world health organisation to give strict instructions to the govts to strictly implement the use of only authorised pesticides.
Choose organic its the only way to go.

“Do you really know what makes an apple so special? Why is it that we never hear an orange or a banana a day keeps the doctor away?”
Sorry, but this is really stupid. The saying originated in Wales at a time when “happle” referred to any round fruit on a tree.
And your medical claims are unsourced and many lack substantiating research.
I thought something similar, but didn’t know the origin of the saying. Great comment.
Dude…. just eat the damned apple, tastes good and better than whatever crap ppl eat all day
I want two apples
I slice my apples up at the beginning of the week with one of those round apple slicers that look like a wagon wheel, takes about 5 seconds to slice them. I keep the apple sections in tupperware in the fridge. This makes them quick to grab on the go or convenient for a snack anytime. How do I keep them from browning? Buy some powdered calcium ascorbate, a healthy form of vitamin C, and sprinkle a tablespoon or so in a shallow pan filled with water, and soak the apples for a half hour at least. Make sure the cut part is in the water. They won’t turn brown all week, and will be cold and crisp when you want them. You’ll get an extra dose of C from the calcium ascorbate too.
Squirt lemon juice on them. That’ll fo the trick
thats wonderful idea thanks……al be forced to adhere
REALLY COOL

Mathildle thinks that apples don’t have vitamin c in them, you’re argument is invalid.

As I walked under the apple tree
I looked up,
And what did I see?
It wasn’t a blossom.
It’s wasn’t a bee.
It was a juicy red apple
Just
For
Me!
If I were an apple
And grew on a tree
I think I’d drop down
On a nice boy like me
I wouldn’t stay there
Giving nobody joy
I’d fall down at once
And say“Eat me, my boy”
